Daytime running lights
The car has sensors that detect the light con-
ditions in the surroundings. The daytime run-
ning lights are switched on when the rotating
ring on the stalk switch is in position
,
or as well as when the car's elec-
trical system is in ignition position II. In posi-
tion
, the headlamps change automati-
cally to dipped beam in weak daylight or
darkness.
Stalk switch rotating ring in AUTO position.
If the stalk switch rotating ring is in the
position, the daytime running lights (DRL
1
) are
switched on when the car is driven in daylight.
The car automatically changes lighting from
daytime running light to dipped beam in weak
daylight or darkness. Changing to dipped
beam also takes place if the front fog lamp*
and/or rear fog lamp are activated.
WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot
determine in all situations when daylight is
too weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mist
and rain.
The driver is always responsible for ensur-
ing that the car is driven with the correct
beam pattern for the traffic situation and in
accordance with applicable traffic regula-
tions.
